(1) Definitions: For purposes of this chapter:
(a) An asset preservation program is a systematic approach to ensure performance accountability; promote student health and safety by maintaining and operating building systems to their design capacity; maintain an encouraging learning environment; and extend building life, thus minimizing future capital needs.
(b) An asset preservation system is a system of tasks or projects that are active, reactive, or proactive in maintaining the day to day health, safety, and instructional quality of the school facility and tasks or projects that are proactive, predictive or preventative in maintaining the school facility over its thirty-year expected life cycle.
(c) A building condition assessment (BCA) is an assessment of the condition of building components and systems using a standardized scoring matrix, an element of the office of the superintendent of public instruction's information and condition of schools (ICOS) system.
(d) A building condition standard is a numeric scoring table with a scale identifying the expected condition score for each year of the building's expected life cycle.
(2) The office of the superintendent of public instruction shall establish and adopt a uniform program of specifications, standards, and requirements for implementing and maintaining the asset preservation program.
(3) School districts with affected buildings under this chapter are required to:
(a) Adopt or implement an asset preservation system;
(b) Annually perform a building condition assessment (BCA) which shall include recording assessments in the ICOS system and reporting the assessment scores to the school district's board of directors no later than April 1st of each year;
(c) Thereafter in six year intervals during the thirty-year expected life span of the building, have a certified evaluator, as approved by the office of the superintendent of public instruction, perform a building condition evaluation and report the condition to the school district's board of directors and to the office of the superintendent of public instruction no later than April 1st.
(4) A school district building affected under this chapter and that does not meet the minimum building condition standard score of sixty-two points at the end of the thirty years from the accepted date shall:
(a) Have its allowable cost per square foot used to determine the amount of state funding assistance in any modernization project reduced at a rate of two percent for each point below sixty-two points, not to exceed a total twenty percent reduction; or
(b) Be ineligible for state funding assistance when the building condition score is less than forty points.
